A movie that brought me to the verge of tears, clearly expressed my true understanding of love and inevitably encouraged my idealization of romance. Romance with true love.
I'm so so emotional. Some parts of the movie made me brimming with tears, I was trying so hard holding them back. You might be wrong, it wasn't the actions nor the casts but the words! Words are such powerful expression of feelings, and in this movie, they are everything that made it alive! From the letter Li-Ann wrote to Jeremy, to that note he left for her on the wedding day... to that last proposal letter, it all made me smiled. Smiling, from the inside. I LOVE LETTERS, and to date, I'm fortunate I did receive them in the past from people whom were special in my life (well, some still are).
It made me want to write again. It made me want to pen down each and every of my thoughts and feelings going on right inside me. But I haven't been writing to a man in that way, for at least a year now... and I don't think I will soon. I wanted to, but... things are holding me back. When will that day arrive??
Anyhow, the movie to recommend is our local production, THE LEAP YEARS. This is one of our rare productions with minimal or no Singlish!! Impressive. In fact, the English standard is surprisingly good! The story goes around Li-Ann bumping into this guy of her dreams on Leap Day (happens to be her birthday as well)... A night of whirlwind romance and deep connection left them both longing for more, obsessed with each other. Sadly, Jeremy had to leave and the reconnection was 4 years later, again on the same day, same venue. It took 12 years, with only 3 meetings... and finally on the 4th, they realised they are meant for each other (actually they knew on the first meeting, but sometimes life just makes us go about in circles!!!).
I wonder if I am running around in a circle myself, but life has been treating me well... well, better!
